Information
has gloss	eng: CLAS was a standards-based assessment based on Outcomes Based Education principles given in California in the early 1990s. It was based heavily on concepts of new standards such as whole language and reform mathematics. Instead of multiple choice tests with one correct answer, it used open written responses that were graded according to rubrics. Such tests were thought to be fairer to students of all abilities.
